Do Vermonters have to pay taxes if they don't have guns?
editThere were some news about fining citizens for not having a gun. Is it true? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unnamed666 (talk • contribs) 04:41, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- I have heard of such laws existing in the New England in the 1700s. I'm confident there has been no such law in the 20th or 21st century. Jc3s5h (talk) 10:51, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
Is Vermont residency required to purchase a handgun in Vermont?
editI imagine the answer to this is YES but I honestly cannot find information that answers this question. This Wiki is excellent for cohesively delineating what, if any, permits are required, and in what contexts, but do all these regulations assume that the handgun owner is a resident of Vermont? 24.193.196.176 (talk) 16:34, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
